Our Benchmark

OUR WHISTLEBLOWING BENCHMARK

What is the Whistleblowing Benchmark?

Protect has developed a Benchmark framework to help your organisation reach best practice when it comes to whistleblowing standards.

Unlike any other benchmarking tool, our Whistleblowing Benchmark reaches beyond the numbers of whistleblowing cases (which alone don’t tell the whole story) and as well as case numbers, takes an in-depth look at staff engagement, policies and practices that hold speak up arrangements together.

Reviewing your organisation’s systems against our Benchmark framework will help give a better understanding of how to deal with whistleblowing cases and how to help staff who wish to speak up. It will also help your organisation see how well your organisation is doing compared to competitors in your sector.

Why Protect?

With more than 25 years expertise built through supporting over 40,000 whistleblowers through our Advice Line, we understand whistleblowing like nobody else.

How does it work?

Protect’s Whistleblowing Benchmark helps you assess how your whistleblowing arrangements are structured, how you engage with staff and how whistleblowing works day-to-day.

The Benchmark framework – which is completed online as a self-assessment – has three core areas: Governance, Staff Engagement and Operations. Each of these three core areas has a detailed set of standards to aim for.

Once the online Benchmark assessment is completed, a report is produced, outlining the Benchmark findings, including steps and an improvement action plan for your unique case.
